Sweet. Medicinal. Not pleasant. Not hugely off-putting. Just very much average, bordering on slightly synthetic, tasting. I’m not a fan of burgundy/wine/port finished scotch such as this or others of its kind. Glenmorangie Quintana Ruban comes to mind when I tasted this. If you like that, you will probably like this one. Over time, I forced my way through about half a bottle of this before calling it quits. It’s just not my style.
